It were wise that our states
men heed the lessons "taught by
the struggle between Russia and
Japan. The one thing that should
attract attention more than any
thing else is the superiority of
Japan on the seas. The Russia
fleet has been practically destroy
ed and 'here is reason for such
was a rich and power
ful nation, but had neglected her
sea interests. Other nations did
the bulk- of her oversea carry
ing. The result was Russia had
neither sufficiently equipped ships
nor sailors to man them. As a
nation she did not pay attention
to either her merchantmen or
her marine.
The result was a general un
preparedness when war was de
clared. You cannot make a sailor
in a day nor a month it' requires
years.
On the other hand, Japan, a
poor and small nation in com
parison, has given careful atten
tion to both her merchant marine
and her war marine. In Japan
both ship building and ocean car
rying is subsidized. It must be
recalled that Japan, through one
of her ministers, prohibited our
annexation of Hawaii for a time,
as she -declared she could not
look upon our annexation with
"unconcern for the reason that

As a result of the different

- latter has a large sailor class and
-a most wonderful and powerful
navy for its size, while Russia is
practically off the high seas to
day. It is an indisputable fact
that all nations fostering and
subsidizing their shipbuilders and
o:ean carriers are forging ahead,
while those leaving these inter
ests to shift for themselves are
gradually, but surely, being forced
from the dominion of the high
seas.
It may. not be wise to go into
the matter of subsidizing too
strenuously in the United States,

some change of policy is nec
essary if we would retain a re
spectable position among the
naval iwwcis ui me wunu.
When our present supply of
sailors have been exhausted
where will we be? "In times of
peace prepare for war" is an old
cheaper in the long run and there
is not. go much danger of defeat

For nearly four years I suffered
from ovarian troubles. The doc
tor insisted on an operation as the
only way to get well. 1, however,
strongly objected to an operation.
My husband felt disheartened as
well as I, for home with a sick
woman is a disconsolate place at
best. A friendly druggist advised
him to get a bottle of Win'e of
Cardui for me to try, and he did so.
I began to improve in a few days and
my recovery was very rapid. With
in eighteen weeks I was another
being.
E3
Mrs. Stowe's letter shows every
woman how a home is saddened by
female weaknes and how completely
Wine of Cardui cures that sick
ness and brines health and happi
ness again. Do not go on Buffer'
ing. ; Go to your druggist today
and secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine
